FAO. Committee of Fisheries: The soaring price of fish too!

Soaring prices on the world market for food.

Thursday, July 27, 2011, the Forum of the G20 meeting in Davos focused on the extreme volatility of prices of agricultural commodities. From January 31 to February 4, 2011, to be held Rome the 29 th Session of Committee on Fisheries (COFI) of FAO. An opportunity to shed light on the fish market, also hit by soaring prices. Shortly

for the aquatic products sector is yet considerable space on the world market. The fish is about 10% of international trade in basic foodstuffs. With annual trade of over $ 100 billion, fish is second only to meat and dairy products. Moreover, rising prices of fish including small pelagic (sardine, mackerel, herring, ...) will affect the security Food poorest populations. Many countries in tropical Africa get their small pelagic global market.

An attack against the FAO?

"Speculation creates riots" said last week Nicolas Sarkozy, who chairs this year, on behalf of France, the G20 group of rich countries and major emerging economies. Blaming speculators and the unregulated agricultural markets, the new chair of the G20 proposed "create a common database as for oil, stocks emergency or a code of conduct for that food aid is not affected by the moratoria on exports introduced by individual countries - like Russia with wheat last summer. "

This list of proposals is obsolete since the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) based in Rome already fulfills this work internationally ... Most of the data on food out straight service "Statistics" of FAO. All data collected helped to establish a Global Information and Early Warning Food and Agriculture (GIEWS ).

The response of FAO did not expect. The Senegalese Jacques Diouf, Director General of FAO, took advantage of an article published January 25, 2011 in Le Monde " G20: Mr Sarkozy wants to regulate agricultural markets " to a tune in a statement :

January 27, 2011, Rome / Paris - Director-General of FAO, Jacques Diouf, was keen to make an update to an article published by Le Monde quoted the FAO (edition of January 25, 2011) .

Here the full text, as sent to the newspaper.

"In the edition of Le Monde, January 25, 2011, an article titled" G20: Mr Sarkozy wants to regulate agricultural markets "states:" The project would be to organize, under the auspices of the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), more transparency on crops, consumption, or stocks. But for now, giants like India and China refused to give information as strategic. "

The paper reports also attributed the following comments a collaborator of the Presidency of the Republic: "When Russia block its exports, FAO met a fortnight later at official level."

The truth is that:

1. From the beginning of soaring food prices, FAO has been the main objective of calming the markets. Thus, in July 2010, the Director General of FAO, gave an interview to the Financial Times indicating that the inventory level and the level of oil prices did not match, this time at the situation experienced during the last crisis in 2007-2008 and it was therefore appropriate to be cautious.

2 ...

7. Finally, it should be noted that FAO regularly publishes information on stocks, stock ratios-use, production, consumption and trade for major agricultural commodities (wheat, rice, oilseeds, meat, milk, etc. .) and the evolution of the index of food prices. However, in the case of stocks, it must be said that only four countries (the United States, Canada, Australia and India) are providing the desired information on a regular basis, which does not facilitate transparency desired by the current Chairman of the G20, Mr Sarkozy. " More ...

A sub-committee" Small-scale fisheries "in the Committee on Fisheries of FAO

Referring to oil, Nicolas Sarkozy plans he set up an organization similar to Global AGInvesting to regulate the food market?

FAO is perhaps a heavy structure but the organization has adapted over time. The Committee on Fisheries of FAO is currently the only global intergovernmental forum in which key issues Fisheries and aquaculture worldwide are examined and recommendations addressed to governments, regional fishery bodies, NGOs, fishworkers, FAO and the international community, periodically on a global basis.

To take into account the specificities of small trades of fishing, the Fisheries Committee has decided to give full importance to artisanal fisheries, with the creation of a sub-committee on Small-scale fisheries "as there are already subcommittees of aquaculture and trade ....

Fish: a price increase soon? (AFP)

The fish industry, which represents some 50 companies and 8,000 jobs, calls for large increases in prices to distributors, who refuse to save their clients, according to a statement released Wednesday by the ADEPALE (Business Association processed food). This association unites the business of processing fish or manufacturers of canned fish, semi-preserved anchovies, surimi, salmon and smoked trout, shrimp, cooked and prepared foods from the sea These manufacturers represent a combined turnover of 2 billion euros. According to Vincent trowel, Managing Director of ADEPALE, industry is a victim of both an offer to fish more and more reduced and a sharp increase in demand from consumers.

industrialists, who must wear the end of February their annual negotiations with distributors, calling for increases in "double digits" for their products, while the "two major retailers have announced that they would limit increases in food to 2% "argues ADEPALE.

For manufacturers, we must pass on rising raw material prices in the price paid by distributors. And include an increase of 65% of surimi in a year, 25% of salmon, tuna 50% and 30% of shrimp. According to Mr Trowel, ADEPALE launches "a cry of alarm" to distributors, so they do not take "the price resilient" to "breaking point". "In doing so, the whole territorial economy of our country and its network of SMEs that could sink," warns the association.

Rising commodity prices also affects farmed fish. Production costs for fish are up with the skyrocketing prices of fish meal and grain. However, fish farming activities are affected differently ...

In Vietnam, farmers panga have really struggled. The world price of panga do not offset the higher raw material prices. Panga keeps the image of a cheap product on the market for white fish.

During the 2000s, the production of Pangasius in Vietnam has exploded from 114,000 tons in 2001 to nearly 1.4 million tons in 2009. But, since rising prices of raw materials (fish meal and cereals), many Vietnamese farmers are bankrupt. In 2010, production dropped to 1.2 million tonnes. In 2011, the estimates provide an availability of 0.7 million tons of pangasius for processing into frozen fillets. Source: Pangasius Shortage to hit Europe's whitefish market (Worlfishing)

New historic high world food prices, FAO said

Global food prices have reached a new historic peak in January for the seventh consecutive month, according The FAO price index of food monthly to monitor the evolution of international prices of a basket of basic foodstuffs.

Index stood at 231 points in January, up 3.4% over December 2010. This is the highest level ever (in nominal and real terms) since the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) began measuring food prices in 1990. The prices of all commodities were accused of strong gains in January, with the exception of meat that has remained unchanged.

"The new figures clearly show that the pressure of rising global food prices showed no sign of abating, "said economist and expert in grain from FAO, Abdolreza Abbassian. " These high prices are expected to continue in the months future, which is a source of concern, especially for low-income food-deficit countries that may have difficulty financing their food imports, and for poor households that spend much of their income to power.

FAO: soaring prices increases the cost of food imports

The Global food import bill could surpass the trillion dollars in 2010, given the high inflation of most commodity compared to 2009, said Wednesday the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO). In the latest edition of its report 'Food Outlook' (see above), the United Nations has launched a warning: we must prepare for hard times if the production of major food crops does not increase significantly in 2011. The food import bill is expected to increase by 11% in 2010 for the poorest countries and 20% for low-income food-deficit countries. Which means that passing the milestone of a trillion dollars, the bill will likely reach a global level unprecedented since the outbreak of 2008 prices, FAO said. "Given the pressure on world prices of most commodities, which shows no sign of relief, the international community must remain vigilant and prepare for new supply shocks in 2011," says FAO ....

Fish has also experienced significant price increases, showing a strong recovery following the sharp declines since late 2008. This is mainly explained by farmers' decision to reduce inventories in response to low prices, which impacted on production. Strong demand from both developed and developing countries in developing nations continues to support fish prices, notes FAO.

Fish has experienced significant price increases in recent months (+57% for pink salmon in the Pacific from June 2009 to September 2010) or + 21% for Atlantic cod from October 2009 to September 2010. While global demand increases, the fishing, it is stagnant and aquaculture is only suitable for some species (which feed on other fish in part). These higher raw material which constitutes 75% of the cost of fish breaded and 90% of the fish leads Findus nature to want to review its prices upwards. On a 2010 sales estimated at 190 million euros (170 million euros in 2009), industrial believes that higher prices will burden its margin at 4.5 million. A figure that could reach 9.6 million euros next year. Findus therefore wishes to increase its prices by 15% on average for passing on the impact of raw materials.

carnivorous fish are more resistant to crisis

At the conference AquaVision 2008, analyzes and reports on the future of aquaculture in general and of farming carnivorous fish such as salmon, bass, bream and trout in particular, have been presented. Although the increase in commodity prices has pushed up the cost of food and, consequently, the cost of production of these species, its impact is less strong than for catfish farmers, omnivorous fish with high growth.

farming carnivorous fish can also be compared to industries swine, poultry and beef. Moreover, its potential in terms of innovation and future developments is much higher in comparison with those same industries.

face of rising world prices, experts propose to strengthen trade Intra-regional fish including Southern Africa

high tariffs on imports are also a problem for intra-African fish (Agritrade - CTA)

Nearly 10 million African families are involved in artisanal fishing, which is the livelihood. About 15% of the workforce on the continent is directly or indirectly employed in the fishing sector. The fisheries and aquaculture are critical to the survival of millions of people in Africa, the region, however, did not fully exploited the possibilities of trade in fish. According to one expert

WorldFish, the African fishing industry could contribute to the continent's annual economic growth at 6%, but Africa has a low capacity to adapt to meet this challenge because of the lack information, technology, skills and economic resources. However, efforts are made at the continental level - with the African Union and the initiative of NEPAD fishing - or at regional level - with, for example, the strategy of fisheries development of COMESA, which aims to increase and maintain the contributions of fisheries and aquaculture in socio-economic development and food security in the region through the development of intra-regional fishery products.

Regarding the region of southern Africa, a representative of INFOSA stressed the importance of the potential of intra-regional, with a regional population of 234 million people and an annual production of fish of 2.77 million tonnes. Namibia is the largest fishing nation in the region. About 90% of fish landed are exported, mainly because of very low market absorbing about 10% of total annual catch - unlike other countries such as Mozambique, Seychelles, Mauritius and Angola, where domestic markets absorb a relatively high share of fish production .....

About 80% of fish products consumed in domestic markets are dried and smoked, a process requiring much labor widely practiced in countries like Tanzania, Zambia and Mozambique. The intra-regional trade of fish is estimated at 170,000 tonnes, Namibia with exporting about 70,000 tonnes of mackerel to the Democratic Republic of Congo .....

The rebellions of 1837-38 (1): The situation in Quebec

Ah! Hunger! Hunger! That word, or rather this thing, made revolutions She will make many more! (Gustave Flaubert, Agonies , 1838)
could loosely be termed a revolution "from hunger" what is happening these days in some countries of North Africa and the Middle East. This is a simplification, but Tunisia (follow the information on Guardian and a record Libération.fr ) and Egypt (The Guardian , Cyberpresse.ca ), not to mention Yemen of Jordan or even in Algeria earlier this month are now popular demonstrations and sometimes of governments that fall on behalf of better living conditions (employment, housing, food). Nothing in Quebec has never taken this proportion in terms of popular movement. But in terms of lifting, Quebec has experienced the rebellion of 1837-38 (and rebellions of the Patriots).

We publish here a first message on this subject, to try to explain the reactions in Quebec City, but it goes without saying that the coming weeks will see new posts on this topic. Of course, these messages remain in the spirit of blogging: they are brief introductions to a topic accurate. Far be it from us to get into a new description of these events. The sources are many complex and the current form of our book would not understand the scope of the topic.

During the uprising of patriots, Quebec is the capital of the colony of Lower Canada. In this sense it is the seat of the legislature, the very one where the elected representatives of patriotic party (named Canadian party Advent 1826 and led by Louis-Joseph Papineau) work and have been adopted 92 resolutions on February 21 1834. This 'program' is confirmed through the plebiscite election in the fall 1834, where 77 representatives of 84 are patriots, including English. Simply put, the 92 resolutions were a set of 92 proposals to reform the parliamentary system of colonialism. Among the main supporters of these resolutions is Elzéar Bedard (above), first mayor of Quebec, a moderate patriot.

In response, London appoints the summer of 1835, Archibald Acheson, Earl Gosford to Lord Aylmer replace as governor of Lower Canada. Aylmer had clumsily tried to put the Patriots in not incurring the wrath of much of the population. Gosford comes filled with good will and delivered a maiden speech warmly welcomed:
[...] As to the general impression seemed to us to produce, it is unquestionably positive, and he did design expectations , especially that we would have a fruitful session, something of great importance to the following two sessions were no results for the ordinary needs of the country. (The Canadian , Wednesday, October 28, 1835, p.2) This
possible honeymoon was short-lived, while information from Upper Canada confirm that the Patriots Gosford is not free to respond to requests from the 92 resolutions. The work of the meeting will inevitably be slowed by this crisis. While we try to continue to reform the institutions with more symbolic than steps, including the attempt at constitutional reform undertaken by the member patriot Augustin-Norbert Morin (below), Bellechasse County, in 1836.

But winter 1836-37 will be tough, from a political perspective. The British interior minister, John Russell wrote 10 resolutions which reject completely those patriots. This news, which reached Quebec in the spring, giving rise to large public meetings around the colony. The most popular in the city is that of 4 June Organized by AN Morin where the editor of The Canadian said he counted more than 2,000 inhabitants (June 5, 1837, p. 2). But tensions between the city climb moderate patriots, British radicals and sympathizers. These tensions erupt into violent confrontations rarely, but skirmishes between supporters (patriots on one side and "constitutionalists" of the other) and vandalism on their respective premises are common, especially when coming elections (in the case of the early part of July 1837 where fighting has "done much bloodshed" (The Canadian , July 7, 1837, p.2).

In Quebec, the Patriots are seen in most of the moderates, however: in addition to Bedard and Morin, is believed to members Amable Berthelot and George Vanfelson. But Robert Bouchette SM (above), a radical patriot (and founder of the bilingual newspaper patriot The Liberal ) and his followers take up much room. The two groups will be in a situation virtually irreconcilable from the start of summer 1837. We know when a confrontation is imminent. The biggest clash takes place in Quebec City November 19, 1837 between several hundreds of patriots and constitutionalists on the sidelines of a speech by lawyer Edward J patriot Turcotte (below). Warnings for the complete prohibition of meetings are continuing.

It is also known that the clashes rebellions will mainly occur in the Richelieu Valley. During the winter of 1837-38, Quebec, a garrison town, is within the scope of strict rules including a city police curfew imposed by a militia "constitutionalist" rose quickly to replace the army mobilized in the Richelieu Valley . The absence of Deputies (the last parliamentary session, which began August 18, 1837 was extended on August 26) and climate similar to the material occupying many patriots of Quebec, often more inclined to the discussion that combat and lifting.

The ball of the Society of Men Gras in New York, February 1877

To wait until the update this week which will come later today or tomorrow (Sunday, 30 January), a brief sympathetic:

Here is a verbatim transcript of a brief article from the newspaper Le Canadien , February 26, 1877, p. 2:

FAT MEN - The annual ball of the Company of Men Gras in New York in recent days, in Irving Hall, did not begin with his usual enthusiasm. Several members, by performing the compulsory weighing above the ball, had found that their weight has decreased since last year. Away on a cloud of sadness many fronts. Mr. Samuel McGraw, particularly, seemed inconsolable. It weighs only 327 pounds. Forty pounds lost in one year! However, when the music gave the signal to walk, and that fat men, each with a fat lady on his arm, began to march, waddling, fronts were a little cheered. A little later, a quadrille of the Lancers provided the most agile dancers of both sexes with opportunities to distinguish who brought good humor, and when we sat down at midnight and a half before the tables laden with food plump all faces were fulfilled.

Aquaculture compatible with Natura 2000 at sea?

In a notice published in the Official Journal of the European Union on January 19, 2011, the Economic and Social Committee (EESC) asks the Commission to make an effort to explain about the main standards of environmental protection, in particular the Natura 2000 network, showing its interrelationship and compatibility with aquaculture ....

Since 1992, the European ecological network Natura 2000 weaves his web of biodiversity on land and at sea A plant, insect, bird, mammal or a fish is threatened ... Natura 2000 defines a protection zone around the species from endangered ... In France, Natura 2000 covers nearly 20% of metropolitan land, several million hectares of wetlands, mountains and forests.

Currently, Natura 2000 covers only a few "islands" at sea, however, the map of France's government portal: Natura 2000, already includes large coastal territories within the Natura 2000 network. For example: The presence of the last European sturgeon (Acipenser sturio) in the waters charento-Gironde explains largely the creation of the largest protected area of the hexagon: Marine Natural Park Perth Charente and the Gironde estuary.

"Biodiversity is an asset to our territories

Natura 2000 represents a real challenge for sustainable development of rural remarkable in that it reconciles biodiversity conservation and maintenance of human activities in the context of a discussion led by all local those involved in the life of the site. Natura 2000 is not a museum where life is frozen, the postcard of a wilderness where man is merely a spectator. Quite the contrary, Natura 2000 is characterized by the desire to live a protected nature and human activities respectful and responsible.

This orientation is reflected by the participation of users in the management and development of their territory. Biodiversity is thus an asset for promoting the development of socio-economic activities such as ecotourism, the creation of local products as those who eat our food culture, educational activities, sports, community and craft. Above all, a Natura 2000 provides each of its residents the opportunity to achieve unparalleled quality of life. "

Natura 2000 at sea opposite to the professional activities

Example: aquaculture, compatible with Natura 2000?

Elected officials of the Economic and Social Committee (EESC) reiterate their concern that they had already expressed a view on the 2003 strategy, given the dwindling competitiveness of aquaculture in the EU, due to an inappropriate regulatory framework. It is burdened by regulations without the need of various kinds, causing additional difficulties in the development sector ...

the EESC, European aquaculture must take the path of sustainable growth, enabling it to meet the demand in products aquatic origin nutritious, healthy and safe. Its proper development could serve as a springboard to socio-economic areas where it is located and it will increase the supply of stable and quality, helping to keep people in the area.

For the EESC, since the occupation of more and more important coastal areas, should encourage the search for synergies between the activities compatible, including the protection of the environment. The scarcity of space allocated to aquaculture is one of the main reasons for the current stagnation of this activity in the EU. The EESC recommends to improve and streamline procedures for issuing permits and authorizations to fish farms, as well as simpler and more flexible approaches in order to shorten the time of award ....

The EESC aquaculture that produces quality food in aquatic environments, is compatible with environmental protection, one priorities of the EU. This protection should not prevent him from carrying out activities that may be consistent with it.

Fish bio: The aquaculture industry is sowing confusion among consumers!

Organic Fish: The aquaculture industry is sowing confusion among consumers!

wave bio affects all food sectors, let alone other aquatic products. The market for organic fish (AB) has even experienced one of the biggest gains over the past three years (1). However, it should not be the aquaculture industry that is organic in this dynamic fishing industry, creating confusion among consumers with a contrasting bias from organically farmed fish and wild fish from fishing!

Examples

tendentious articles

"Distinguish wild fish organic fish!

In most minds, the wild fish is a healthy fish. In reality, the wild fish is not an organic fish. Indeed, the latter is necessarily a fish farm ... You follow? Yep, the fish is certified organic from a breeding, but high quality ....

Wild fish, polluted? "

"All wild fish are not yet, fortunately, polluted. But in practice how to tell if those we buy or eat, are healthy? Today it is almost impossible to know. The fishing grounds are only rarely identified on the stalls, and almost never at the restaurant. And when the source is specified how to know if the place is polluted or not?

Wild fish is not organic, nor necessarily of quality. ... "

The file begins with a Bio Linear investigation reveals the a priori. A survey of ultra-fresh fish counter several food shops in the Paris region and in western France, shows that Clients classified as "pure" organic are not automatically reflex organic fish: "66% of buyers choose either certified organic fish and fish caught at sea"

For the reviewers, this result is unacceptable on the part of consumers sorted among the most bio. They even blame these consumers: "So the same customers that set as priorities the concepts related to sustainable development will be predominantly and equally buyers of organic farming and products" wild "caught at sea or whitewater. "

One of the conclusions of the investigation: "The concept of organic aquaculture fish is little known and not so spontaneous bearer of value in itself. We'll have to communicate, explain and convince. "

We'll have to communicate, explain, persuade ...

As shown in this survey, a majority of consumers of organic remains convinced of the quality of wild fish. But until when? The largest salmon aquaculture companies, bar / bream and shrimp are currently the package to convert part of their holdings in organic production ... These multinational aquaculture have the means to communicate, explain and convince consumers that their fish or their organic shrimp are better than the wild fish and shrimp ...

Bio consistency, ethics, commitment, brand

The sanitary quality of wild fish put on the market can not be questioned especially when consumer confusion is maintained by the aquaculture industry and the media specialist for organic products. ... For some reason common sense ...

Explain to me why a fish of aquaculture feeds granules composed mainly of oil and fishmeal wild, would be better than wild fish itself (before its transformation into fishmeal factories)? Subterfuge by which the farmed salmon, which feeds exclusively on pellets made of 70% oil and flour of horse mackerel, sardines, mackerel or anchovies ... would be better health than fish (mackerel, sardines, mackerel, anchovy , ...) used to manufacture pellets ...

The comparison between wild fish and organic fish is no longer any reason to be because the fish and shrimp are certified organic neither more nor less than fish and shrimp aquaculture from a rational or improved against the excesses of industrial aquaculture conventional

... That's why a group of French organizations has established a trademark "Bio Consistency" with a specification to a faithful with ethical commitments to organic production much more stringent than the new European organic regulations (see reviews of IFOAM below).

Philippe Favrelière

(1) In France, the market for fish products labeled organic (AB) amounted to nearly EUR 17 million and its growth has reached 220% between 2007 and 2008. In 2008, 123 farms were certified organic aquaculture in the European Union for a total of 225 worldwide. The EU accounts for nearly half of world production is estimated at 50,000 tons.

consumption. Wild fish is always popular (The Telegram)

What new habits of consumers of Sea? To help professionals adapt, a study called Cogépêche was presented in 2010 in Lorient.

Women want more fresh and not frozen. Men attach more importance to lean fish. The consumption of seafood is sexual it is one of many findings in a wink identified by the team of pole fishing Agrocampus West, who presented the study yesterday in Lorient that she carried the expectations and needs of consumers of seafood in the various distribution channels. A study of the project Cogépêche designed to help companies adapt to new market conditions. The consumption of seafood tends to stagnate now, after a sharp rise seen over the past ten years (10 kg of seafood per capita entre1993 et2004).

brake consumption - Cogépêche In this study, the ideal fish for the consumer is still wild. With particular reference to low-fat fish. However, the consumer is totally resistant to the words "fish rich in omega 3." The whole fresh fish is scorned as being too laborious to prepare, in favor of prepackaged products. A purchase modulated by age. The study highlights a lack of knowledge of fish species and different ways of cooking. This allows the salmon, shrimp and cod to be the stars of the stalls. This ignorance is seen as a brake on consumption. Originally

Prices Of Koorai Sarees

Of John Gilmour Gilmour Hill

Small note: next Wednesday, January 26, 2011, I will be the guest of the radio program "Hello 275 on the airwaves of Radio-Canada . In fact, I will answer questions from listeners about the history of Quebec City. Talk to your children 6 to 12 years and enjoy!

In fall 2010, Quebec City Mayor Régis Labeaume, expressed the hope that Gilmour Hill should be open year round. This statement was quick to dive into some commentators sometimes heated debate, including urban sprawl, transit, environment, user safety and even the sovereignty of the city on federal park. This week, the site of Cyberpresse.ca reported that the Commission on National Battlefields announced that a study had been commissioned to show the viability of such a project. But before celebrating its opening winter or not, trying to discover a little history of this artery.

Coast Gilmour is named in honor of Scottish timber merchant John Gilmour. Born in 1812 he arrived in Quebec around 1832. John is a member of the large extended family that Gilmour moved around what is now New Brunswick, Quebec and Ontario in the early 19th century to take an important part in the timber trade. At Quebec (including his brother David) Gilmour's empire is thriving. They operate mainly from the banks of the Anse-aux-Fullers (above), overlooked by the luxurious residence of John, the Marchmont area , located at the top of the current Gilmour Hill. Their empire sink from the mid-1860s or early 1870s along with the drastic decline of the timber trade in Quebec. John Gilmour sink literally with his empire. Here is an excerpt from the newspaper Le Canadien of 28 February 1877, p. 2:
'disappearance - a telegram from Montreal tells us that it has serious concerns about Mr. John Gilmour, the city disappeared for several days. He had been called to Montreal to settle some cases, a man named [Thomas] McDuff had scrambled nicely. Mr. Gilmour had been greatly afflicted with the infidelity of the man in whom he placed all his confidence. He left the St. Lawrence Hall and his hotel has not been back since. It was found intact his luggage - where did he go. ? Nobody knows? It is believed Mr. Gilmour moved to England. A reward of $ 500.00 is offered to anyone providing information. "

The body of John Gilmour will be found in the late spring of that year under the ice of the port of Montreal. Gilmour's name is synonymous with great wealth of timber merchants on the banks of the river during the heyday of the timber trade in Quebec, the first half of the nineteenth century.

But what is the coast Gilmour, it was not until the very end of the nineteenth century that the road to Anse-aux-Fullers take this name. Thus, it traces the history of this road up during the French regime. It is a path which borrowed a plot located in the same section of Cape Diamond that soldiers from Major General James Wolfe borrowed the night of 12 to 13 September 1759 and went to the Plains of Abraham, giving the name of Wolfe's Cove Hill this coast (Wolfe's cove is also the name given to the Anse-aux-Fullers at the beginning of British rule). It would also have called Marchmont Hill in honor of the residence of John Gilmour. Gilmour Hill will be redeveloped (above) as part of major public works initiated after the Great Depression.

In 1947, the Commission on National Battlefields (created in 1908 to administer the city park formed by including the Plains of Abraham, the legacy of the federal government to mark the 300th anniversary of Quebec) gets the coastal management Gilmour cities of Sillery and Quebec. Even if NBC was already managing the land around the coast (since 1927) this track was not yet under its jurisdiction. Since then, the east coast used primarily for winter recreation such as skiing and sledding.

Marcel Trudel, 1917-2011, selected works

2011 begins with a departure in the historical community of Quebec. Indeed, the historian Marcel Trudel died January 11 last (2011). For me, 2011 began as 2010 when it was the U.S. historian Howard Zinn who left us January 27, 2010 (away from me here to compare their work, methods, or fighting, but my young way, this are two historians who have had some impact). Far be it from me to present here his course of life and represent the genesis of the debate between " School of Quebec / Laval "and" School of Montréal "on the Conquest that Trudel was certainly fed. It seemed rather interesting to present a brief selection of annotated texts Trudel to allow those who know less of his research to better understand its impact in the history of New France and the former regime at large. The organization is chronological texts, according to the first year of publishing.

Marcel Trudel. Slavery in French Canada; history and conditions of slavery . Quebec, Laval University Press, 1960. 432 pages.
While the story was still widely and glorifying national heroes (sic) as Dollard des Ormeaux still occupied an important place in the collective memory fed by the work of historians, Trudel publishes a book about slaves and slavery. It puts slavery in the daily life of a colonial elite reputation still almost perfect. This book has had the effect of a small bomb in the early 1960s, as he addressed a topic rather new in the study of the history of New France in particular. This book complements the work of Trudel of 19,904 (second revised edition of the original 1990), Dictionary of slaves and their owners , published by Editions Hurtubise HMH. These two books are gathered in the book Two Centuries of Slavery in Quebec , a book in 2004 which saw a new edition in 2009.

Throwing an interesting look at the relationship between France and Canada during the American Revolution, this book is captivating Trudel. It gives a perspective very "Canadian" (as defined in this Canada that was the historic St. Lawrence Valley, of course) to the American Revolution and the reasons for the different implications or lack of involvement of political authorities to try influence or not this war. Very interesting.

Although his work as a historian must remain at the forefront, the autobiography of Trudel is however very interesting. His life course, the beginnings of the discipline of history at Laval University through his position as "first professor of history," its secular commitment, his forced departure to the University of Ottawa, the debates generated by his works, many things will happen. Certainly the book ideal for capturing his career.

The great project of EOL Trudel. It seems that the author has tried to write a story "final" and correct certain positions trenches or agreed on the history of New France in particular. Does her writing then became one of the moralistic historian, confirmed in a career filled and newly aware of have a unique understanding of large events? Not really. It is a dynamic and enjoyable than writing Trudel offered us here on different conceptions of our past and the biggest flaw of this series is certainly that it will remain unfinished. Maybe not as "anecdotal" or accessible to the general public that the popular History of Lacoursière, but extremely interesting.

I deliberately excluded from the list of great History of New France that Trudel had partially written with historian Guy Frégault for the incompleteness of the latter. Although interesting in its partial form, this History was probably one of the most ambitious dreams of the life of Trudel. I also excluded the doctoral thesis of Trudel on the influence of Voltaire in Canada that had sparked heated debate when it was published, but is an interesting read.

I wish finally (and still) to wish a beautiful and Happy New Year 2011 to all our readers. It is a pleasure to share the history of Quebec City and the historical profession with you.

One site, two sites, three sites, four sites ... ! The auctions continue to rise, while the hammer was to fall "before January 2011!

It seems that Orange has won four alternative sites in exchange for the dismantling of the site Olivier Metra ... If there was a direct relationship between these events, what a windfall for the operator: the more than, the more the reward!

Meanwhile, it is still there, and despite the withdrawal of some GSM antennas, the field is still an average of 3.5 V / m on the fourth floor, and more in the fifth.

One way or another, this site will disappear by the end of January. So expect a future post in less than 3 weeks ...
